Just got this in my email, folks, and immediately thought of you all.
Imagine the great photos we could contribute for some much deserved ratty PR.

Here's the details!
Animal-Friendly Lifestyle: Calling All Rat Guardians!
Our good friends at Rat Chick Rat Rescue have teamed up with a photographer to create a book of portraits of people with their companion rats. The goal of this book is to humanize rats and to get people to accept them as friendly creatures deserving of our respect and affection. If you live with a companion rat and are interested in being in this book, please email Maria at
ratrescuephilly@gmail.com (I'm going to email and see if they allow out of staters to send in photos not taking by this photographer, too)
Those of you close enough to do this, DO IT!
